Stainless steel is incredibly versatile, used in endless applications and industries, from hospitals to hospitality. The alloy of iron, chromium, nickel and carbon makes it resistant to rust and oxidation – aiding longevity and its aesthetic qualities. A lack of corrosion makes stainless steel perfect for areas where sanitation and cleanliness are necessary, such as medical countertops or commercial kitchens. It also allows for long term preservation of a particular look or aesthetic. At Sheet Metals Online, we provide several finishes, including brushed, mirrored and even a dulled industrial look. To protect their appearance, all stainless-steel sheets leave the factory with a protective plastic film. After installation this layer can be peeled off, resulting in a perfect and unscratched surface.
The metal supplied is a type 304 stainless steel, a food grade stainless making it safe for culinary environments – often utilized for kitchen knives, pans or food trays. Most seen in commercial kitchens as backsplashes, corner guards, c channel, and door kick plates. The 304 grade steel is austenitic, meaning that it is not magnetic. This makes it safe in environments with conventional or electromagnetic forces that may affect the materials in use.

3. Does Stainless Steel Rust In Water?
Stainless steel does rust in salt water. Stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, yet it can still rust and corrode under the right conditions.
Some of these conditions are:
When cared for properly, however, stainless steel can last for generations. Immediately when rust emerges, it must be scraped off, the surface cleaned properly, and a rust-resistant coating applied.
Cleaning stainless steel is as simple as spraying it with a vinegar-mineral oil mixture and wiping it down with a soft cloth to get rid of surface dirt and smudges.
Baking soda or any nonabrasive scrub cleanser can sprinkle stubborn dirt, grime, and stains on a wet cleaning soft cloth. Applying light pressure in the direction of the stainless steel's grain, scrub the affected area until it is spotless. Then, spray the area with vinegar and water solution or glass cleaner and wipe it down again.
If stubborn stains, try using a synthetic wash sponge and a light abrasive cleaner to scrub in the direction of the stainless steel's grain. Then, spritz the glass with vinegar and water or another glass cleaner and wipe it down one more.
